Motorola E680 / E680i
E680 vs A780
Opinions? The main diff I see is: A780 has EDGE but uses transflash. E680 lacks EDGE but uses more-standard-and-cheaper SDcards. Anyone else?
...
Oh, the other big diff is that the A780 supports the 850 range and the E680 doesn't.
...
And external keypad on A780 obviously, as well as Opera HTML browser (E680 doesn't come with the Opera browser), 1.3 MP camera versus the VGA on the E680.
E680 design is more gaming than A780.

The prices I have seen for A780 are $800-900+. If you want to spend that much get a Sony Ericsson p910a. It supports 850, has QWERTY keyboard, 1 Gb external memory, 262,000 color touch screen and humdreds of apps at handange.com . P910i supports 900. Only bad thing is just vga camera.

Unfortunately, the Motorola A780 lacks several of the E680's desirable features...
According to this site's Phone Finder, the A780 lacks Vibrate, Alarm, FM Radio, Headset Jack (2.5 mm), Voice Memo and a To-Do List.
Expansion cards for the Motorola E680 are common Secure Digital (SD) & MultiMediaCard (MMC) but the Motorola A780 uses something I have not heard of called TransFlash.
I could be wrong about this next point but it appears that the A780 also lacks support for use with a standard modem connection.

Does anyone knows where I can have my A780 software reloaded. Half of the functions is written in Chinese. Is there a place where I can buy the operating system for my A780

A780 does vibrate, but does not vibrate AND ring at the same time (typical with Motos). It has a great alarm, and a headset jack on the bottom of the phone (2.5mm). You can listen to mp3s in stereo if you get the Motorola stereo headset that works with this phone. It's LOUD! YOu can record voice memos and phone conversations, and recording time is only limited to the amount of memory you have, up to 48mb internal, cannot record directly to external memory but you CAN move the voice memo file to external memory once recorded. And it does have a great calendar and tasks (to-do) list that sync perfectly with Outlook (using Mobile Phone Tools).
Hope this helps.
